Kudo said that he hadn't been back to his hometown for a long time, so he wanted to reconnect with his family. Being into fashion trends himself, he thought it would be fun to get his grandfather into his cool outfits. "He was really enthusiastic about it," Kudo told Bored Panda. He suggested the shooting locations and everything." 

The inspiration from the outfits came from the kind of things that Kudo wears every day. "He wore the same outfits that I actually wore in the past," he told us. "I brought my trendy clothes home for him."

It quite a transformation from the man who Kudo describes as a "normal grandpa" fashion-wise, to a stylish, elegant man of age. Tetsuya is aware of his new-found fame, but doesn't use social media. Kudo is currently running his Instagram account and will keep updating it; he has plenty more pics to share.

"It has been unexpectedly popular," he said. "I will continue for a while."

"I hope to make a photo book to give him as a present."
